6
Smart families don’t rely on ONE bucket.
They build:
- 🔵 Tax-deferred (IRA / 401k)

- 🔴 Taxable (brokerage)
👉 This gives you options in retirement
📈 Why This Matters in Irvine Specifically
Families in Irvine often face:
- Higher state taxes 🌴
- Higher income brackets 💼
- Larger retirement goals 💰
👉 Which means:
💡 Tax planning is just as important as investment growth
👤 Who This Strategy Is Ideal For
This shift toward IUL is common among:
- High-income professionals
- Business owners
- Families maxing out 401(k)s
- Those who don’t qualify for Roth IRAs

⚠️ Important Truth
This is NOT about replacing everything with IUL.
